Ranking in the investments, they find a further friend and partner in entrepreneur Ron Levin ( Kevin Spacey). But when the gold market tanks and they almost lose it all, a small change to the books makes them look like a sure bet.
Having found mediocre success after school, Joe Hunt ( Ansel Elgort) and Dean Karny ( Taron Egerton) partner up in order to entice investors in an attempt to invest in gold. Unfortunately, the Billionaire Boys Club takes a common Hollywood film concept and fails to deliver anything more original than its predecessors. Honestly speaking, the story makes an attempt to be a 20s something Goodfellas, with Dean as a Beverly Hills Henry Hill. The edge-of-your-seat college boy corporate saga, which had previously succeeded in such films like The Social Network, failed to impress here. While Billionaire Boys Club is based on true events, it was lacking the dynamic and intrigue to keep viewers hooked. Sadly, the film itself speaks to the reason. My expectations for Billionaire Boys Club were not set primarily high, as the film had a delayed release and was sent straight to Video On Demand, yet I had hoped that all the lack of marketing, delay, and form of release had been a result of the sexual misconduct of one of its leading actors Kevin Spacey. The movie is enjoyable, but the pace of the film drags, giving you time to notice the missing pizzazz – or something to show the relevance for making this film. While many films ignite with schemes, edge of your seat tension and at times hilarity, sadly Billionaire Boys Club from director James Cox did not. Where the fantasy and desire lives in the real world, so too does it on screen. Get-rich-quick schemes are far from a new idea in Hollywood.
